lie as char cellCr for the middle division
of Alabama, q circuit judge for the Fifth
Judicial circuit OF the United States and
as an associate justice Of this court ex-
tends over period OF nesrly twenty years

after he took his seat On the bench Of the
Circuit court ne was compelled 10 deal
with questions OF the highest importance,
novel in their character spd applicable to
s rev ordsr Of things among
those whose rights were involved.
How well he net them
and what ability he exercised in the
duties OF hI3 cflice is shown by the re-
ports of this judgment aud by the esteem
IN which he was held throughout the en-
tire feld of his lahors. He brought 10
this court large judicial experience, and
from the beginning he vas Jealous in his
work and faithful in every duty. He YES
sn upright man and ust man.
